This invention relates to floor drains, the object being to provide a new and improved form of floor drain wherein a, dram head has a grating at the floor surface and a skirtextending 3 Claims (o1. 210-56) thereafter be removed and the debris in the basket disposed of. i

If the water flowing through the grating is in greater volume than will discharge freely below the surface which discharges into a basket, 5 through the passage 4 below the wall I it will the drain head having an extension on one side rise in level and pass through the opening 6 to which an outlet conduit is connected and a to the outlet. The inlet end of the outlet exwall between the extension and the chamber in tends upwardly through an aperture in the which the basket is positioned, the wall having bottom wall of the extension 2 and into an open an upper aperture therein open to the exten- 10 ended chamber ll] of greater internal diameter sion, the arrangement. preventing discharge of than the external diameter of the inlet end of dirt, sand or gravel or like refuse into'the drain the trap l4 and is usually caulked in place. line connected with the head.
